The light is probably the power light which is ok, but from past experience it sounds like the board is dead for one reason or other. Is it still under warranty? If it is take it back to where you got it, with the purchase docket if you have it and talk to them about what you have tested and ask for a replacement. If it is out of warranty, try ebay or use www.staticice.com.au to search for the same motherboard if you want to rebuild the system without having to reload windows.

If this is an OEM HP motherboard, you most likely won't find support on
the Asus website since they don't support OEM motherboards. Asus only
supports retail motherboards. You need to determine which HP/Compaq pc
system this motherboard came installed in, then check the OEM vendors
website to see if XP drivers are available. You won't find them on the
normal system driver page since it was only shipped from HP/Compaq with
Windows Vista installed. One such pc system that used this motherboard
is the Presario SR5019UK. I'm sure there were other pc models that used it as well.

A BIOS checksum error can be caused by a nearly flat BIOS battery.
I would replace the BIOS battery first before attempting to upgrading the BIOS.
Some motherboard BIOS firmware is upgraded by running a program that has been copy to a DOS boot disk or the upgrage maybe done from within the BIOS setup. These firmware upgrage and instructions are on the motherboard WEB site, in your case the Compaq/HP WEB site. Make sure you select the upgrade for your model motherboard.
NOTE it is possible that if you make a mistake you could ruin your motherboard, if you are not sure seek help from a computer savy friend.

What bios are you using? Usually that error message can be disregarded since you can manually set the CPU clock, voltage, etc in the bios and it should work. Also, this might mean that the bios currently loaded is corrupted/broke. But since you did update the bios, to what version?
Also, are you using the integrated graphics for gaming? If so, that would not suffice for heavy gaming at high resolution. You should be using a dedicated video card for that.
As for system performance, how slow is it? What is your OS as well? can you try to download cpuid, and see if your processor is detected properly in windows.

First you have to make sure all of the wires are plugged in properly. Many times this problem occur because a wire isn't properly secured. You can also try resetting the bios options to 'default settings'.

Try removing your memory and than reseat it. One DIMM at a time and boot the system in-between each. Still hear the double beeps? Its possible one DIMM may be defective. Continue. Clear the bios. See page 1-7 in your manual. When the bios has been reset everything will revert to default settings. The onboard graphics will give you back video. Enter the bios and set the bios so the PCI-E card is used. Save and exit. (Most likely your PCI-E card also needs a power adapter connected).If the system goes back to double beeps try removing the PCI-E card and than reseat it. (Possible loose connection). Happy 4th!Mike

I recommend going to this site and getting the latest Bios for the board.http://support.asus.com/download/download.aspx?SLanguage=en-us

I don't know your expertise with computers but it will require you downloading their Bios boot disk utility and creating a boot disk. then copy the Bios file to the same disk. When you boot it up it will guide you through the Bios flash process.

Be aware that you can completely kill the Bios if it has a problem during the flashing so only do it if you are positive you can get through it.

Alternately if you can push the F1 and get into the OS the Motherboard utility disk should have an updater you can use from inside windows.
